David Beckham recently extended an olive branch to his estranged son, Brooklyn, in an Instagram story.
Hello! Magazine reports that the father of four reached out to his eldest child during Father's Day weekend with a simple message: "Love you @brooklynbeckham."
People following the family felt that Sir David's message was an attempt to patch things up with his son and let Brooklyn know that his father would always be there for him.
The distance between the father and son duo has grown recently. Unfortunately, the impact of said distance has been seen through Brooklyn's increasing absence from family events.
Recently, Sir David Beckham received knighthood from King Charles. The legendary footballer also celebrated his 50th birthday around the same time.
Brooklyn Beckham was absent from each occasion, according to reports. However, Victoria Beckham and the couple's younger children, Romeo, Cruz, and Harper, were there to support the new knight at every turn.
How much longer will their dispute last?
Hello! Magazine reported that Victoria Beckham posted her own tribute to Sir David on Instagram.
The tribute included a batch of heartwarming photos highlighting David's affectionate approach to being a father.
Eagle eyed followers noticed that Brooklyn wasn't in some of the recent pictures.
However, we shouldn't be quick to pick sides since Brooklyn lives in the United States full-time with his wife, Nicola Peltz.
Reports analyzing Brooklyn's absence from the Beckham family noted that Victoria's actions during her son's 2022 wedding could be an underlying cause of the household's internal dispute.
In another Instagram story, David Beckham wrote that being a father is his "most important & favorite job in life."
Sir David also promised all four of his children that he "will always be here for [them] no matter what."
From the outside looking in, it seems like David Beckham wants to fix things with Brooklyn. Beckham's recent social media posts and altruistic gestures hint that he's left the door for Brooklyn to come home whenever he's ready.
In her tribute's caption, Victoria Beckham showed signs that she's open to reconciling as well. The entrepreneur and former pop star tagged Brooklyn in the post after mentioning that Sir David always leads with love.
So far, Brooklyn hasn't responded to his parents' efforts to reach out to him during Father's Day weekend.
It would be nice if the Beckham's found a way to figure things out before letting too much time slip away. We'll be keeping a respectful eye on this situation while we wait for any updates.
